[Fix Needs Testing 68142] when taking damage, characters keep repeating the last animation performed

Character continues to swing weapons for duration of bleed damage. Not sure about Poison DoTs or if all weapons are affected. I am using duel spears.

Also noticed that if a mob attacks from behind my character will swing his weapons in auto-attack even if, there is nothing in front of the character.

EDIT to add: It appears that the "auto-attack" when being hit duplicates the last weapon style used. Also, being shot from distance by an archer will cause the character to swing weapons; either basic auto attack or weapon style last used.

EDIT 2: This also appears to cause the character to go through the animation of casting the last spell used but not actually cast the spell.

I was also observing this on live this morning as well. Bleed from bandits specifically.

 

Not sure if it's the emote (in this case, shooting an arrow) itself causing it or simply my perception, but in a heating battle in Spectral Mines with some skeletons I got hit by so many damage sources that my character was constantly "shooting an arrow" and I (again, it might simply be perception) that I was unable to actually fight them. I had to withdraw and try one or two at a time. I would try to draw back my bow for a charged attack, but that charged attack got interrupted by the "emote" and as a result I basically could not shoot back.

Of course, it's not really an "emote", but rather, an animation.

 

I am also getting odd character animations on my in and out of combat animations. some kind of punching in the air before going into melee and some repeating sword animations when sheathing weapon.

everything was smooth as silk before the update, so something changed.

 

This does seem to be fixed for bleed damage and Poison Mushroom Spores. I am no longer auto-attacking each time I take damage from both DOT's. I was seeing that happen at release. Not now with latest build.

I'm not seeing any odd animation going in or out of combat for my character (Bludgeon).
